STARVE OR STEAL?
LABOUR MEN'S ADVICE. READY TO RISK LIVES FOR WORK, TO TERRIFY THE CABINET. (by TELEGRAPH—rEESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.) London, October 28. Mr. Victor Grayson (Socialist N M.P. for Colne Valley), addressing a gathering of unemployed at Tower Hill, challenged the Labour leaders to join him in a campaign to rouse the country up on the question of unemployment. He declared that the people would never have got the Reform Bill by begging , and praying, but they had done so by threatening and doing. It was not, he urged, sufficient to demonstrate at Tower Hill; they must go nearer home, and put tho fear of God into the hearts of the Cabinet. History would be made during the next three months, for half a million people wore ready to risk their lives to find work. The unemployed would! be willing to do what the people wanted; whether according to the law or against the law.
Mr. Jack Williams, Labour leader, deliberately advised unemployed to rob and plunder all round if they were unable to obtain bread for their starving families. 1
